Sometimes all we can think about is how hard life has become in Haiti.

I myself can’t stop thinking about Big Outlet, where we used to take children from Haiti Awake every Christmas and also to prepare for back to school. It was a good place to go shopping.

Now, unfortunately , because of the current situation with the gangs, we can’t go there anymore. The area around Big Outlet is incredibly unsafe. The place we used to drive we can not drive any more. Did you hear what happened at Sun Auto recently? That is very near to Big Outlet.

I seriously miss that place.

I am also thinking about many Haitians who used to work there now have no job. When you hear about the hard times in Haiti, you probably don't hear about how many people have become unemployed, but I know the truth. So many people have lost their jobs.

Also, I wonder about the merchandise at Big Outlet. Is it all ruined now? What a loss to the person who invested in opening this business. Will we have a place like this ever again?

What will become of my country? Of my people? Does the world understand how we are suffering?

Kite peyi’m mache.
